5. And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
6. And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.
7. And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them.
8. And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.
9. And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away.
10. And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11. The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him.
12. And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13. And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
14. Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.
15. And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16. And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread.
17. And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
18. Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?
19. When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
20. “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.”
21. And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”
22. And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him.
23. And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
